This Nintendo Switch OLED deal cuts $45 off the price tag

By Aaron Mamiit Published July 30, 2024

OLED Nintendo Switch — Nintendo / Nintendo

The Nintendo Switch OLED doesn’t often go on sale, so gamers who are thinking about buying the hybrid console are going to want to take advantage of this offer from Walmart. From its original price of $350, a $45 discount brings it down to only $305. That’s a steal considering the capabilities of the gaming device, so we think it will be flying off the shelves. There’s a high chance that the stocks up for sale will sell out extremely quickly, so if you’re interested in this bargain, you’ll have to complete your purchase as soon as possible.

Why you should buy the Nintendo Switch OLED

The Nintendo Switch OLED is the 2021 upgrade to the original Nintendo Switch that was released in 2017, with the 7.0-inch OLED screen of the new model serving as the primary change, replacing the 6.2-inch LCD screen of the old model. The swap gives gamers a larger and brighter display with more vibrant colors, which will let them better enjoy playing during handheld mode. However, our Nintendo Switch OLED versus Nintendo Switch comparison highlights other differences, namely the addition of a built-in LAN port to the dock, a kickstand that’s wider and significantly sturdier, and double the internal storage at 64GB (still expandable with a microSD card).

If you’ll be upgrading from the original Nintendo Switch, all your Joy-Cons will work with the Nintendo Switch OLED, so there’s no need to build a new collection of controllers. You’ll also be able to play all of the best Nintendo Switch games, as there are no compatibility issues between the two models of the hybrid console.

You won’t always see the Nintendo Switch OLED appear with a discount from Nintendo Switch deals, which is why you shouldn’t let this opportunity to buy the hybrid console from Walmart at $45 off slip through your fingers. You’ll only have to pay $305 for this gaming device instead of $350, but that’s only if you hurry because we expect the offer to expire very soon. If you want to get the Nintendo Switch OLED for cheaper than usual, the only way to make sure of that is to finish your transaction for it right now.

There's only one Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense wireless controller in most bundles of the PlayStation 5. If your focus is on single-player titles, you'll want an extra controller so you can swap it in when you have to charge the one that you're using when its battery runs out. A second controller also lets you play against friends in fighting games such as Tekken 8, or with them in co-op adventures such as It Takes Two.

Stocking stuffer idea: Get a Tamagotchi for only $20

The Original Tamagotchi digital pet on a chain.

Here's a worthy addition to our roundup of Cyber Week stocking stuffers: the Original Tamagotchi, a digital pet that's making a comeback after reaching peak popularity in the late 1990s, is on sale from Walmart for less than half-price. From $42, it's currently available for only $20, for savings of $22. We're not sure how much time is remaining before stocks sell out or until its price returns to normal, so if you think this is the perfect gift for somebody, or perhaps even for yourself, take advantage of the offer immediately while it's still available.

Why you should buy the Original Tamagotchi
The Tamagotchi shaped the tech habits of a generation when it was released in the late 1990s, and it's back as a retro device that's targeting kids and adults alike. If you've raised Pokémon in any of the Pokémon games or built an island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the Tamagotchi is an extremely simple version. As a digital pet, you'll have to feed it when it's hungry, play with it when it's bored, give it medicine when it's sick, discipline it when it bothers you, and clean up after it when it leaves a mess. You'll raise your Tamagotchi from an egg into a child, and depending on how you raise it, it will grow into one of the seven types of adults.
